What is it

This is a simulation of two different algorithms for delivering messages in sparse network, where agents can only broadcast messages to their neighbours.

One algorithm is a slightly modified Gossip, and the other is Destination-Sequenced Distance Vector routing.

Run

Install rust

Check build instructions for macroquad in it's readme (you may need to install some packages)

Linux (WSL) cross compile to windows

Run 12 and 19 (apt-get) commands from this file

Also run this

rustup target add x86_64-pc-windows-gnu
rustup toolchain install stable-x86_64-pc-windows-gnu

Then, add --target x86_64-pc-windows-gnu to every cargo command, like cargo build --bin console --target x86_64-pc-windows-gnu

Commands

# Add RUST_LOG=(debug|info|error) for log output
# Run tests with full output
RUST_LOG=debug cargo test -- --nocapture
# Just run (even in wsl)
cargo run --bin console
cargo run --release --bin visual  # --release for release build
# Or, you can just build
cargo build --bin console
cargo build --release --bin visual
# The output will be somewhere here
./target/debug/console
./target/release/visual
# Or, for cross compilation
./target/x86_64-pc-windows-gnu/debug/console
./target/x86_64-pc-windows-gnu/release/console
